Today the American Chemistry Council’s Chemical Recycling Alliance announced it has changed its name to the Advanced Recycling Alliance for Plastics<\/a> (ARAP) to reflect its growing membership and variety of members\u2019 advanced recycling technologies. ARAP also announced three new members: GreenMantra Technologies, Chevron Phillips Chemical and Ravago Recycling Group. ARAP is at the forefront in representing the rapidly growing advanced recycling and recovery sector for plastics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cARAP and ACC\u2019s Plastics Division members are working to help answer increasing calls for solutions that enable society to use and reuse our valuable plastic resources and to overcome growth barriers for these innovative technologies,\u201d said Prapti Muhuri, ACC\u2019s manager of recycling and recovery and staff lead for ARAP. \u201cAdvanced plastics recycling is one of the fastest growing solutions to America\u2019s plastic waste concerns, and will help the plastics industry realize its goal of recycling or recovering all plastic packaging by 2040.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to join the ARAP and work with our fellow members to educate the value chain about innovative technologies such as ours and how these technologies will help solve the problem of plastic waste,\u201d said Jodie Morgan, chief executive officer for GreenMantra.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for members of the plastics value chain to understand the promise of these burgeoning advanced recycling technologies,\u201d said Ron Abbott, sustainability technical manager for Chevron Phillips Chemical. \u201cWe see resin producers as playing an important role in their growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

ARAP started 2020 with an advanced recycling workshop at February\u2019s Plastics Recycling Conference in Nashville, Tenn. The workshop helped educate attendees about these technologies, addressed concerns and questions from the value chain, and offered attendees options for getting engaged with advanced recycling.<\/p>\n

The conference workshop is a continuation of the work the ARAP and ACC’s Plastics Division members accomplished in 2019. In addition to communicating the sustainability benefits and environmental potential of advanced recycling technologies, ARAP members supported the advocacy for modernized requirements in Iowa, Tenn., Tex., Ill., and Ohio that recognize advanced recycling as manufacturing operations instead of disposal operations. In previous years, similar was passed in legislation in Fla., Ga., and Wis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to work with the advanced plastics recycling value chain that ARAP represents,\u201d said Robert Render, commercial manager of Ravago Recycling Group. \u201cThese technologies produce a variety of different outputs and complement mechanical recycling, and ARAP\u2019s work will help scale these technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to working with our new members and our partner organizations to grow the work of ARAP in 2020,\u201d added Muhuri.<\/p>\n

Advanced plastics recycling and recovery technologies can create a wide range of products from post-use, recovered plastics, such as plastic and chemical feedstocks, transportation fuels, and crude oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
